These are some of my favorite cookies - love peanut butter and chocolate!!
Peanut Blossom Cookies
from joyofbaking
1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, room
temperature
3/4 cup (185 grams) peanut butter (smooth or
crunchy)
1/3 cup (70 grams) light brown sugar
1/3 cup (65 grams) granulated white sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla
extract
2 tablespoons milk
1 1/2 cups (195 grams) all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
Coating
(optional):
1/3 cup (65 grams) granulated white sugar
Garnish:
48 Chocolate Kisses, unwrapped
Line three baking sheets
with parchment paper.
In the bowl of your
electric mixer (or with a hand mixer), beat the butter until creamy and smooth.
Add the peanut butter and sugars and beat until light and fluffy (about 2 - 3
minutes). Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat to combine. Beat in the milk.
In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to the
peanut butter mixture and beat until incorporated. Cover and chill the batter
for about an hour, or until firm enough to roll into balls.
Preheat oven to 375
degrees F (190 degrees C) and place rack in the center of the oven.
Roll the batter into 1
inch (2.5) round balls. Place the granulated white sugar in a shallow bowl and
roll each ball in the sugar. Place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2
inches (5 cm) apart.
Bake the cookies for about
8 - 10 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly
browned. Immediately upon removing the cookies from the oven, place a unwrapped
Chocolate Kiss into the center of each cookie, pressing down gently until the
cookie just starts to crack. Cool completely on a wire rack.
Makes about 4 dozen
cookies.

I'm gaining weight back just looking at the photos - no way I can read the recipe! Hope you enjoyed them, and the photography is wonderful!
Yummy! My favorite shot is the 3rd one.
These look beyond delicious. I patted myself on the back for avoiding these during Christmas - but now I'm craving 'em. Celine - you're killing my diet! (kidding, sorta!). Great shots - fantastic DOF.
